Pharma Navigator

The Decision Sits Below the Contact List

Pharma Navigator is the configured account intelligence layer for teams selling complex capabilities into pharma. It maps the real buying committee within an account, and shows how the decision actually moves, before procurement becomes the visible entry point.

The challenge

Procurement Enters After the Decision Takes Shape

In complex pharma accounts, the buying committee forms early across technical, programme, and quality functions. A contact database shows you who exists. It does not show you who shapes the decision or when the window is still open.

A buying decision, earliest to latest · Select a stage
Earlier · hidden · where the leverage is
Later · visible · where databases look

Technical read: Capability is assessed by technical and scientific evaluators. Most outreach never reaches them, yet this is where credibility is won or lost.

Earlier · hidden · where the leverage is
Later · visible · where databases look

Programme fit: Programme and asset owners judge fit for their specific work. The real go or no-go starts forming here.

Earlier · hidden · where the leverage is
Later · visible · where databases look

Functional alignment: Functional leadership shapes the brief, the budget, and the shortlist before anything reaches procurement.

Earlier · hidden · where the leverage is
Later · visible · where databases look

Commercial sponsor: A commercial sponsor backs the case internally and carries it forward. Without one, the decision stalls.

Earlier · hidden · where the leverage is
Later · visible · where databases look

Procurement: The decision becomes visible and formalises. By now it is largely shaped. This is where most sellers start, and where databases look.

Most intelligence platforms illuminate market activity: assets, trials, companies and contacts. Pharma Navigator reveals the decision architecture within an account. It uncovers who shapes technical and programme choices, where influence resides, and how decisions evolve long before procurement enters the conversation.

HEOR and Evidence

Account size is not the limiter: The same multi-source method applies across large pharma organisations as well as mid-size, regional, and speciality companies. Depth follows the commercial question, not how visible the account is on any single source.

How we solve it

Public Sources in - Configured Decision Mapped Out

No single source defines the method. The method is the orchestration of public-domain sources against your specific commercial question, with analyst review on every record.

RAW PUBLIC SIGNALS ANALYST-SCORED RECORDS Corporate disclosures Regulatory filings Scientific publications Patent & partnership signals Conference activity Public professional profiles methodology Analyst review VERIFY · SYNTHESISE · SCORE Configured stakeholder map an example, calibrated per account and per question 1 Technical evaluators HIGH 2 Programme / asset owners HIGH 3 Functional leadership MED 4 Commercial sponsors MED 5 Procurement & commercial WHERE IT FORMALISES
Analyst review is where source data becomes intelligence. Every record is verified, then scored with a confidence rating, role context, decision authority, and influence signals. What goes in is six raw public sources. What comes out is a ranked, evidence-backed view of who shapes the decision.
01 Multi-source orchestration

In practice

Configured Intelligence Changes What You can See and Act On

CDMO · Programme-fit

18

accounts with active or planned ADC assets surfaced for a European mid-size CDMO.

Within two quarters, structured outreach began across six accounts, with two entering substantive BD dialogue.

API supplier · Stakeholder depth

34

stakeholders across CMC, regulatory, and manufacturing surfaced across seven priority accounts.

It explained why procurement-facing outreach had stalled. Three accounts moved to active pipeline in year one.

AI / ML · Buying committee

2Sides

technical evaluators separated from commercial sponsors across the committee.

This shows where validation and budget authority sit, moving the team beyond title-based outreach.
